I think it should be fine as long as systemd or whatever system cgroup
manager can be told to stay aside about limits.  Everyone doing their
own thing and ending up competing directly under /sys/fs/cgroup/
worries me more.  cgroup config fs doesn't have enough flexibility or
proper provisions for sharing while encouraging direct usage.  That's
not a good combination.

Thanks.
